Wouldn't mind it TBH, but probs wouldn't buy it for real money.

Man, China is not even siding with Russia. China is against the West, it's just looking to gain as much as it can from the situation.

It's as likely to annex Siberia as help.

the largest military power barring itself

Don't make me laugh. China easily is a more competent and dangerous military power than Russia. Russia is maybe on par with Iran, though Iran has the fact that they are not embroiled in a war of attrition with a minor neighbour with no way out going for them.

Ironically Russia has shit both for quantity and quality of military production. I mean imported French tank optics? Hand assembled fighter jets? Whatever the fuck the Kuznetsov is?

Russia spends around 9% of its GDP on its military, if the EU did the same, the result would dwarf the US. No point in doing it though as Russia is not a threat to the EU militarily. Maybe as much as Syria is, if they implode and cause a refugee crisis.

Better have a smorgasbord of different apps, it's great if we can get a decent competition going.

Mobile platforms need an effective way to block data hoovers. There is a reason everything is an app now and that is that mobile platforms aren't safe.

uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation

This is peak corporate-speak. Is this real or satire?

The only thing I haven't seen AI take on successfully yet is liability. Who do you sue if your accountant AI loses a bunch of money?

I have seen huge corps buy stuff and employ a lot of people just to have scapegoats.

I mean every community moderates itself, if you don't like what one of them does, you cut it out of your feed.

It sounds exciting, imagine if mods would have to compete for shares of a topic instead of a group gatekeeping a big community.

Man, as someone who grew up near a whole bunch of brutalist architecture, there comparison to lifeless corporate art is spot on.

A bit weird since they said they'll be supporting the current iteration till 2030.

I remember there was a whole saga about the original never making it to 64bit. I guess this is a remake, since the source was lost too IIRC

Have you seen the drama over at r/sysadmin? TBH whether Reddit survives this or not (I'm assuming it will), I'd rather be over here. TBH the smaller user base is actually a plus.
